Lending specialist Trent Clyne leads Loan Market’s Queensland network

Leading aggregator Loan Market has appointed former Virgin Money senior manager Trent Clyne to head-up its growing Queensland network.

Mr Clyne, Virgin Money’s former Queensland and Northern Territory State Manager, has taken up the state Director role following the promotion of Andrew Thompson to National Director of Loan Market.

Mr Clyne brings to Loan Market role a strong background in lending. Before progressing to oversee Virgin Money’s state operations, he spent two years as the lender’s BDM and, prior to that, held BDM roles at Bankwest in Victoria and Queensland.

Mr Thompson said Mr Clyne was well-known and respected for his ability to drive solutions for brokers and their customers.

“Trent has close to a decade’s experience in lending with a direct focus on the broker channel,” he said.

“His experience in the lender landscape will be invaluable as we sharpen our focus on one-touch approvals, while his leadership background will benefit our business owners as they scale and increase their productivity.”

In 2022, Loan Market’s Queensland network defied the market slowdown caused by interest rate increases, lodging 16,912 loans - a 17% increase on the previous year.

Mr Clyne said he was excited to lead Loan Market’s Queensland Broker Success team, partnering with business owners to enhance their productivity. The state team has now grown to 13 with specialists across business growth, asset finance, commercial finance, white label and compliance. 

“Loan Market is reshaping how brokers service their customers and build their businesses,” said Mr Clyne.

“With MyCRM driving their productivity and doing the heavy lifting on compliance, and leads coming in through the door via automated marketing and their affiliation with Ray White, Loan Market brokers are able to spend more time honing their customer experience - something that’s demonstrated in the brand’s +97 Net Promoter Score.

“It’s a great opportunity to join the Loan Market Corporate team and contribute to the growth trajectory of the network members.

“The Queensland market has been a great beneficiary of the post-Covid domestic migration and the local economy will strengthen further as we head toward the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games.”
